Aa luth. .....
DETROIT, July 27.-Facts which have
come to the knowledge of the Free Press
within the past few days show that the
present trip of General Alger, Chauncy
NJ. Depew and Henry B. Ledyard to
Europe involves railroad scheme of the
first magnitude. Their trip is for the sole
purpose Of placing $7,Ooo,OOO of bonds of
the new trans-continental road with Eng
lish capitalists. 1t is designed to build en-
tirely new line from the Straits of Mack
inaw to Duluth, running midway between
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic and
Milwaukee,, Lake Shore & Western and
Chicago & Northwestern railroads, which
now start at the northern boundary of the
upper Michigan PENINSULA and the partly
completed Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie &
Atlantic road. The road will traverse one
of the richest timber and mining districts
IN the world and be sufficiently remote
from parallel lines to enjoy profitable
local traffic. Contracts have been secured
from the Northern Pacific and Michigan
Central upon which the business of the
three companies will be conducted before
his departure. General Alger said: eve
already have seven million dollars avail
able for this purpose and expect to secure
the balance without troubled The North
ern Pacific is said to promise to hand over
all its seaboard traffic to the new road and
the Michigan Central and New York Cen
tral Will afterwards carry it east.

DAMAGED BY STORM.
Effects of Recent Ram and Wind on
South Dakota Crops.

ABERDEEN, July 27.-Monday's hail
storm did considerable damage to wheat in
this county. At Warner, ten miles south
of here, nearly 1000 acres of standing
wheat was destroyed. In Bath township,
eight miles east, $4,000 worth of wheat was
lost; partially insured. Two miles south
of Groton losses were sustained to the ex-
tent of $4,000. Near ScaUterwood Lake
the storm covered an area of eight miles in
length by three miles in width. The house
and barn of Joseph Probst was blown
away and 200 acres of excellent wheat de-
stroyed. Losses in the vicinity will ex-
ceed $4,000. Harvesting Of wheat COM
menced in this county to-day. Crops are
excellent.
YANKToN, July 27.-There was terri
BILE wind storm here last night. Trees
were blown down, signs demolished and
portable things were generally blown
away. But few farmers are in town and
the damage to crops cannot be very def
initely ascertained, yet on account of the

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The president

of Memphis was coming to Washington to
invite the president to visit that city dur
ing his western trip. The president tele-
graphed to Senator Harris in reply to use
his influence to prevent any movement of

ways be pleased to see the people of
Tennessee at the capital, he thinks that
they ought to be spared long journey to
Washington during the heated term Oh a
mission of this sort when written invita-.
tions sent by mail would be as effective
and as much appreciated. Similar answers
will be sent to other western cities where
arrangements are being made to send invi-
tation bearing committees to Washington.
1t Is stated at the white house that the
president will give the same consideration
to invitations received by mail as to those
borne by committees.

WOLF IN DAKOTA.
The Famous Pennsylvania Independent

-
The Famous Pennsylvania Independent
to Settle in Dickinson. .-
Hon. Chas. s. Wolf of Lewisburg, Pa,
has been on the line of the Northern Pa
cifc for several weeks. He passed east
yesterday after having found resting
place in Dickinson, Stark county. He was
attracted to that fertile region by T. s. Un-
derhill, the fancy stockman of eastern
Stark. Mr.. Underhill is an old Pennsyl-
vanian from Williamsport and an &C.
quaintance of Mr.. Wolf. While in Stark
he bought some land near Underhill, some
adjoining Gladstone, the old Bovay and
Little claims, a section and half west OF
Dickinson and residence lot in Dickin-
son. When his son graduates next June,
he will move with his family to Dickinson
and become, what his talents will surely
make him, a leader in western Dakota.
Not in politics, however. He has quit pol
ltlcS. He was the man who ran for gov
ernor OF Pennsylvania as protest against
the domination of Cameron, and elected
PATTERSON (dem.) governor. He also ran
last year as the temperance candidate, but
the detection from the republican party
was not sufficient to defeat Beaver sec
ond time. He is medium sized man,
Dlack mustache, wears glasses and carries
an intellectual head. He is a quiet, inter
esting talker. He thinks Gladstone has
hatterlng location and likes all Stark.

How He Looks.

The personal appearance and peculiari-
ties of the chinch bug, which has appeared
in Minnesota, and which appears to be mi
grating westward each year, are thus de-
scribed by the Press and Dakotaian of
Yankton: "The bug is not ferocious
looking arrangement, but people who have
had experience with him say he is sue
cessful destroyer of wheat A reporter,
after considerable running, lassoed one of
the monsters on Douglas avenue, and with
out the aid of microscope the pest was
sized up. The bug is about sixteenth of
an inch long, and has two wings and six
legs. The color is dark green, with an
oval white spot on each wing. His eyes
have wicked CLEAN, and his under jaw
denotes unlimited chewing qualities. He
smells like bed bug. In the vicinity of
the insane hospital millions of these bugs
have assembled. They are too late to do
any damage this year. They thrive best
on small grain and do very little damage to
corn. AS they will next season exhibit
their destructive tendencies in this section
it will be we'll for our farmers to omit
their small grain and indulge mostly in
corn.

The New England Colony Promoters,

The New England colony (Hettinger
county, hackers are good ones. Under the
lead of Colonel Bicknell of Boston they have
gone in and bought something. In Het-
finger county where this colony is located
they have purchased from the Northern
Pacific Railroad company five hundred
thousand acres. Bicknell and a friend are
now inspecting from background the
land in western Morton county, adjoining
Hettinger. They contemplate the purchase
OF several townships in that section
probably fourteen. Those Boston folks
have business in their eye as well as pleas
ure. They are not unlike the pioneer DR..
Culver of Massachusetts, who bought in
Ohio around Marietta and pushed himself
and friends to the front. 1t is not unlikely
they will do more than roll immigrants,
solid New Englanders, into their garden
spot: they may build a railroad from Dick
inson to Deadwood. 1t is an open secret
that the settlers are expecting road, and
their hopes are based on something tangi-
BILE from the headmen of the colony or the
Northern Pacific railroad magnates.

ST. PAUL, July 28.-An unknown farmer
arrived in the city yesterday with load Of
potatoes. He was hailed by man who
claimed to be produce merchant doing
business on Robert street, to whom he sold
the potatoes at 70 cents per bushel. The
stranger told him to drive up to Grants
produce store, of which he assumed to be
the proprietor. He then stepped into the
store and sold the potatoes to Grant, receiv-
ing the money for the same. He then or
deIed the farmer to drive around and his
orders were given is such an authoritative
manner that Mr.. Grant mistook the farmer
for hired man. The potatoes were un-
loaded and the sharper went out and gave
the farmer an order on the Globe company
and directed him to 80 there to get his
money.
